Go beyond traditional ice cream with international frozen treats: Thai rolled ice cream, Mexican ice cream and popsicles, Italian gelato — even Greek baklava ice cream.

Popular Italian ice, also called “water ice” because it’s not made with dairy or egg products, can be found at national chains such as Rita’s in Vero Beach and Jeremiah’s in Vero Beach and Stuart.

The Treasure Coast has at least three locally owned Thai rolled ice cream shops, nine Mexican ice cream and popsicle stores, four Italian gelato cafes and three Greek restaurants with baklava ice cream.

Here’s where to find authentic frozen treats from around the world locally:

Steel rolled Thai ice cream

Rolled ice cream is a popular frozen treat in Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia and the Philippines, where it often is sold by street vendors, spanccording to span 2016 Forbes spanrticle after the trend hit the U.S.

The little rolls of ice cream, which are about the size of a roll of quarters, are packed into a cup and topped with extras, such as marshmallows, gummy bears, coconut and hot fudge.

The process to make rolled ice cream, which takes about two minutes, is entertaining. A cup of flavored milk-based liquid is poured onto a cold metal surface. As it freezes, it’s kneaded like bread with little paddles and then spread across surface. A spatula is pushed across to turn strips into rolls.

Mexican ice cream and popsicles

The origins of ice cream, “helado” in Spanish, started with the Teotihuacanos civilization in Mexico, according to “Mexicspann Ice Crespanm” by Fspanny Gerson. The first frozen treats were made from snow gathered from the top of volcanoes, mixed with mashed fruits and sometimes sweetened with honey.

The current version of Mexican ice cream was born after ice became readily available and Italian immigrants arrived in Mexico with gelato recipes. It has a unique texture that’s closer to gelato than traditional ice cream. Plus, it focuses more on flavors like chocolate, cinnamon and fruit, not mix-ins like candies and cookies.

Mexican popsicles, “paletas” in Spanish, look like ordinary popsicles, but they’re made from fresh, natural fruits like strawberry and mango or rich, creamy ingredients like chocolate or pistachio.

Italian gelato

Gelato is a frozen treat from Italy that’s popular in America too. Gelaterias display rows of mounded colorful gelato flavors garnished with a corresponding topping.

Gelato and ice cream contain milk, cream, sugar and flavorings, but they contain different amounts of milk fat. Gelato is richer and denser while ice cream is milkier and creamier.

Authentic gelato uses more milk and less cream than ice cream and generally doesn’t use egg yolks. American ice cream comes in two styles: Philly-style contains milk, cream, sugar and flavorings while frozen custard starts with a custard base that’s made with egg yolks.
